I am looking for recommendations for a C text. Up to now our system
only supported K&R C (i.e., Pre-ANSI) and we used the first edition
of K&R. However I do not think that this is a good introductory book
for C. I have been looking to get ANSI C on our system and rather than
going to the second edition of K&R I am now looking for a different text.

I recently received a copy of "C A Software Engineering Approach" by
Darnell and Margolis (Springer Verlag) and it looks pretty good. Does
anybody have any experience with this book (or can recommend any other
book) for an introductory course in programming with C?

Thanks,
Esmail
